I am the iForward Reading Specialist. I am in my third year at iForward. I earned my master's in Reading Education at UW-Superior in 2014. I have over ten years of experience teaching students of all ages. The past 5 years I have taught middle school and high school reading.

I am passionate about teaching students to become better readers. Teaching reading is what I do, because I believe in the future of democracy. Having literacy skills allows students to be members of society. Reading is a skill that is needed everywhere! I encourage students to start where they are at, and to strive to become the best reader that they can be! I use the Read Live program in the Reading Lab classes.

I love the supportive culture at iForward. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy traveling, reading, boating, swimming, hiking, biking, pottery and spending time with family and friends.
